It’s a lot easier when folks don’t see us coming. I like to think RUWT? Sports is the best-kept secret out there for sports fans, and it’ll be that way until we reach the Holy Grail.

But that doesn’t mean RUWTbot doesn’t like to do interviews. Check out his first ever official interview on Nerds on Sports.

Do you ever get bored watching all these sports? … I mean you do watch NASCAR.
No, I do not get bored but I do like NASCAR. The cars go around in an oval and periodically go down pit road which is a straight line. It reminds me of my two favorite numbers: 0 and 1. (more)

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Olympics this year. It’s always hard figuring out exactly what you can watch, but with RUWT?’s Program Labels, you can see exactly what is on and when.

Here’s the full televised schedule for everything Olympics for the next few weeks.

Not into the Olympics? There are listings for everything from Archery to Yacht Racing. Feel like combining a few labels? How about French professional wrestlers on ice skates?

Really? Two Steve Jobs references in a row?

Looks like I fatfingered the certificate for the desktop widget.

What does that mean? It means there’s a new version of the desktop widget (bleacher alerts!), but those of you who jumped on it early won’t be able to update automagically. Just this time only, you’ll have to uninstall it and then reinstall the new version.

Haven’t installed it yet? Well, you get a $200 discount. Grab the new sports widget hawtness now.

Don’t ask what the title means. I have no idea. No, really.

I probably don’t talk about as much as I should (there’s not even a link to it on the site), but I really like the RUWT? Beta Projects page. If you’re interested in seeing code I’m working on before it gets launched, it’s the place to go. Here are a few projects that have recently graduated to full-fledged site features.

River
A few months ago I launched the RUWT? River, a feature inspired by Techmeme, my favorite Tech site these days. It took a little while, but I finally had a “duh!” moment when I realized it was really just the Bleachers on steroids—it has a slider! Click on any “more…” link at the bottom of any “From the Bleachers” section, or just head to areyouwatchingthis.com/bleachers to check it out.

Beta Scoreboard
The beta scoreboard has been out for a lot longer and needed a little kick in the pants to get it closer to full launching on the site. I haven’t figured out the best way to slam it onto the home page, but that’s still the eventual goal. Kick the tires at areyouwatchingthis.com/beta/scores and let me know what you think.

Dynamic Page Titles
This never hung out in Beta, but cool little feature nonetheless. If you’re looking at a specific game page on RUWT?, the title in your browser will update whenever there score or time left changes. If you can’t use the Toolbar, but you want to keep track of a bunch of games, you can open new tabs while you continue to surf the Internets.

A comment by RUWT? user senorpepr made me realize I forgot to mention a great Google Gadget feature. Yes, RUWT? Sports makes a great addition to your iGoogle page, but you can also embed it on your blog or any other website that allows <script> includes. Just copy and paste the code below and you’re good to go!

<script src=”http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://areyouwatchingthis.com/widgets/googlegadget.xml&up_selectedSports=&synd=open&w=320&h=365&title=RUWT%3F+Sports&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js”></script>

It’s hard to keep a good robot down.

I’m happy to announce that you can now bring RUWT? onto your iGoogle homepage. Modeled after the popular iPhone app, this customizable scoreboard gives you news and scores for the sports you care about, as well as updates as soon as games gets good.

As always, give me a shout if you have any requests.

update: you can also embed this scoreboard on blogs and other websites…
